Restructuring and downsizing advisory
Planning and carrying out workforce reduction properly: what to do, in what order, and how to say it. Our consultants work with leadership, HR and project teams before anything is communicated.
- Workforce change planning and options analysis
- Preparation for mutual agreement, voluntary separation and reduction in force
- Implementation planning and sequencing
- Manager preparation and notification training
- Notification planning and on-site support on the day
- Engagement with trade unions and local authorities
- Coordination with Career Transition support for impacted employees
Succession planning
Most succession plans name a successor and stop. The useful part is what follows: the specific distance between this person and that role, and what will close it in the time available.
- Identifying business-critical roles
- Assessing leadership readiness against role requirements
- Mapping succession risk and single points of failure
- Building and maintaining succession pipelines
Organisational development
Structure follows strategy in theory. In practice it usually follows history, personalities, and a reorganisation somebody ran four years ago. We work with leadership teams on structural options, spans and layers, and decision rights, testing each against how the work flows.
- Organisational design and structural options
- Role and structure clarification
- Capability alignment against strategy
- Selected change and transformation support

Common questions about HR advisory in Vietnam
What is HR advisory?
HR advisory is experienced advice on the people decisions that are too consequential to work out alone and too specific for a template: reducing or restructuring a workforce, planning who succeeds whom, and designing how the organisation is structured.
What does restructuring and downsizing advisory cover?
Change planning, downsizing preparation, implementation sequencing, manager readiness, notification planning and communications, including engagement with trade unions and local authorities. Where employees need support afterwards, it coordinates with our Career Transition programmes.
How does succession planning work?
We identify the roles the business cannot afford to leave vacant, assess who is genuinely ready for them against the requirement of the role, and show where the risk sits. Where development is needed, assessment provides the baseline and our leadership programmes provide the route.
Do you provide HR advisory in Ho Chi Minh City?
Yes. Our office is in Ho Chi Minh City and our consultants work throughout Vietnam, in Vietnamese and English.
How is an advisory engagement scoped?
Case by case. Each of the three services stands on its own, and we scope the work around the decision in front of you rather than selling a fixed package.
